Chocolate Chunk Peppermint …

Here we go again folks… Pudding Cookies: Christmas Edition. I LOVE to make different variations of pudding cookies. When it came to thinking of a great Christmas Pudding Cookie, I knew exactly what I wanted to make..

The original Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookie recipe is dear to my heart. It was given to me by my mom and I am pretty sure my grandma is the one who gave it to her. Needless to say, it has been a long time family favorite. That being said, I wanted to do the perfect Holiday Spin to it.

When I think of holiday flavors, peppermint is the first thing that comes to mind… and what better than to pair it with Chocolate?! Chocolate and I never stray to far away from one another. These cookies are so soft and so perfect for the holiday season. They would make a perfect addition to your cookie plates this year!

I think I looked in every grocery store for the peppermint baking chips and I couldn’t find them either. What I did though was buy the candy cane Hershey Kisses and chop them up into chip-sized pieces. Worked fabulously and the cookies are delish!

Yum, yum, yum! We made these today to fill the house with Christmas aromas while we decorated–delish!!! Your recipe is definitely one to put in the Christmas Traditions file of the recipe book. Thanks so much for sharing!

These look delicious! I love the chocolate and peppermint combo during the holidays. What isn’t good with chocolate =)? Love your blog! I think you and I would make good friends =). Random comment but girl, I want your hair! It’s gorgeous!

I just made a batch of these as a trial run for a cookie exchange at work. Thank you for making my choice this year so easy. I will not be doing any other tests. I love the Andes Peppermint Crunch baking chips, and whenever I see a recipe that includes them I know it will be a winner. My store did not have the devil’s food flavor pudding so I used the chocolate fudge. They are delicious. Thanks!

1) How many ounces should the small box of chocolate pudding be? (I might have the wrong size, and I cannot find the devils food version)
2) The cookies came out flat as a pancake
3) The stuck to the pan and were a weird consistency ( but they tasted sooo good)

it is 3.9 oz box of instant pudding mix. You just add the mix dry powdered, don’t prepare it. I don’t know if that is what you did, but off the top of my head that is the first possible reason that comes to mind. I will try and figure out a solution. So sorry that happened. I have never seen that before. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this :)

These look amazing! I am trying this recipe tonight for a cookie exchange. I have never used instant pudding when making cookies. By small package do you mean the smaller box of the pudding mix 3.9 oz? Thanks!

They came out great! Very tasty and moist. The only issue I had was they didn’t bake down very flat. The second batch I pressed down a little bit. It didn’t really affect the taste, just the look. Can’t wait to share for my cookie exchange :-)

Just made these and they are very yummy. Almost dangerously yummy meaning I can’t stay out of the cookie jar. I did make a little change, my store didn’t carry the Andes peppermint crunch baking chips, but they did have the Andes peppermint crunch candy, so I chopped it up and added it. It worked great. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

These are really, really great! My store had no Devil’s Food pudding mix, but I got Hershey’s Dark Chocolate pudding mix and they came out great. I added a teaspoon of mint extract to the batter because I really love mint. I made three batches of these, to bring to a Cookie Swap, some for the office, and of course a ton for myself and the kids. Thanks for posting!
